Finally, after Sam Carlson went on Day 1, four players with Minnesota Connections were drafted on Day 2. Several more will be taken on Day 3.

The Twins don't have a lot of wiggle room in their draft pool, so this will be a day where they look to fill organizational needs. To me, that means lots of (probably left-handed) pitchers, catchers and versatile hitters.

An outfielder with a big arm and power in his bat, there are questions about his overall hit tool. Some scouts foresee a move to the mound if the bat doesn't develop, where he possesses a fastball in the 90s.

Scout's take: Left-handed power bat. Performed well all spring.

Round 12 - Bailey Ober, RHP (College of Charleston)

Tall right-handed pitcher (6' 8", 200) who missed 2015 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Conference player of the year as a freshman in 2014, but has struggled to regain that form in the two years of playing since. Only threw 56 innings in 2017, but had 73/11 K/BB, missing time with a back injury.

Scout's take: Tall, but athletic. Plus changeup. Four pitch mix. Fastball jumps on hitters, has deception. Velocity was down after back injury, but when he is completely recovered will have big velocity. Starter.

Smallish right-hander who has both started and relieved for the Bulldogs.

Scout's take: Big arm out of a small frame. Showed 93-95 with 50 slider in short stints. Live stuff. May be reliever.

Round 16 - Cade Smith, P (Mennonite Educational Institute, Canada)

Committed to Hawaii. Long-levered pitcher who is highly projectable.

Round 17 - Andy Cosgrove, C (North Carolina State)

Backstop who started his career at Washington before transferring. Has a chance to stick defensively.

Scout's take: Lean and athletic. Can really throw and is a good receiver. Not an easy out, aggressive at the plate.

Round 18 - Colton Burns, CF (UC - Santa Barbara)

Spent two years at a JUCO before playing in the Cape and one year with UCSB, where he hit .309 and got on base over 42% of the time, though he doesn't have a lot of power. Has a lot of speed and also has experience at second base.

Scout's take: 70 runner, but below average fielder. Great discipline at the plate results in high-OBP.

Round 19 - Jordan Gore, SS (Coastal Carolina)

Transferred to Coastal Carolina after two years at South Carolina. Had Tommy John surgery in 2016 and sat out the year as a transfer. In 2017, Gore hit .318 as Coastal's everyday shortstop.

Scout's take: Special defender. Switch-hitter. Big arm strength.

Round 20 - Tyler Gray, P (Central Arkansas)

Predominantly a reliever in college, Gray struck out more than a batter per inning in 2017 but has always struggled with command.

Round 21 - Colton Waltner, C (San Diego)

Waltner caught and played outfield. Has very little pop in his bat, but has a good plate approach and uses his speed well (14/14 SBA)

Round 22 - Christian Broussard, P (CS - Los Angeles)

Huge-bodied (6' 3", 270) pitcher who also played first base.

Scout's take: Four-pitch starter who has above-average raw power with the bat. Conditioning will play a large role in his development. Has the makings of a legit prospect.

Round 23 - Jared Finkel, P (Iona)

Closer who was nearly unhittable, but didn't strike out a ton and walked nearly 4.5 batters per nine.

Scout's take: Took off this season after dropping his arm slot. Athletic body. Has a fastball (86-93 mph) with good sink.

I figured the Twins had about 2m saved after day 1 and they used about a million of that on Enlow. And that doesn't count the 5% they can go over. The rest of day 2 was fairly even with some senior signings at 8-10 that could be used on de la Torres, if needed. So, I *think* we should be able to make one more fairly big grab today. maybe a guy like Kyle Hurt. I guess we'll see who we take in round 11.

Looking at mlb.com's list of best left, there are a lot of HS arms that were ranked 100-150. Pool for pick 100 was 500k. There have to be a handful of guys who the Twins scouts know will sign for that amount or even less - good athletes who sucked at school and don't want to go to college or might even be academically prohibited because of low ACT scores or something.

In any event, I'm hoping for a few HS guys with upside today. We'll see.

I always forget that going to school means that have to at least pretend to take classes. That is certainly a factor.

Wow. I guess what is confusing to me is that McKay didn't seem to have much leverage - going back to school or Indy league are very problematic options. So once he had already fallen to #4, what could he really do? If he dropped too far, it would become impossible mathematically for teams to meet his demand.

I suspect he and his adviser floated that amount to all the teams drafting at the top and hoped one would accept it. Rays did so they told Twins, Padres and Reds that McKay won't sign for less and those teams let him slide.

Wow, that's really interesting about McKay. Was he truly ready to go back to Louisville? I don't see his leverage, particularly after nearly everybody and their mom starting getting worried last month and dropped him from the top of their rankings because of velocity concerns.
